Mobile Matters Podcast
Hosted by Mobile Chamber President and CEO Bradley Byrne, the Mobile Matters Podcast is diving deeper into important topics that make a significant impact on Mobile’s thriving business community.
In this episode, Mobile Chamber President & CEO Bradley Byrne sits down with Abe and Carl Harper of Harper Technologies LLC to talk about the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity and why businesses of every size should be paying attention. From phishing scams and ransomware attacks to AI-driven threats and wire fraud, the Harper brothers break down the real-world risks facing companies today and explain how businesses can better protect their data, networks and people. The conversation also explores Harper Technologies’ journey from a childhood dream in Mobile to one of the region’s trusted providers of managed IT, cybersecurity and infrastructure services. Along the way, they share practical advice for business owners on employee training, spam prevention, zero trust security and why cybersecurity is no longer optional in today’s connected economy. Mobile Matters is powered by the Mobile Chamber. Episode Sponsor: Visit Mobile
